  1. Why the Melbourne Model makes no sense to me (Suzanne)

    Finished my PPL essay yesterday, so I’ve decided that I deserve a day of procrastination, even though I have my LMR essay due on Monday. Anyway. This morning, I open the paper, and I find a newspaper article which says that because the uni’s worried about losing talented students after the Melbourne Model switch, they’re […]

  2. Essays should write themselves. Seriously. (Suzanne)

    ^ Need I say more? Anyway, I’ve gotten absolutely nothing from the list on my last post done except number 1, my Principles of Public Law research essay draft, which took me all week and still sucks. Clearly, I am not cut out for legal research, which has been this huge drain on all my […]

  3. Happy holidays! (Suzanne)

    College emptied out yesterday, and I’m one of the 10 people still here. In other words, I can run wildly amok in the college, hog the practise rooms forever, not have to wait in line for laundry or showers, not have to share the TV with people watching McLeod’s Daughters/people vegetating in front of Halo […]

  4. I feel like such a spammer for posting again so soon, but…. (Suzanne)

    When I first got here, I had to take a musicianship test for aural studies tutorial placement. One of the questions was an aural analysis of a recording of a piece of music. Today I was listening to a Philip Glass CD. (Philip Glass is a contemporary American composer who was one of the main […]

  5. Why I feel like a nerd (Suzanne)

    It has recently occurred to me how few things I do outside of school now that music is actually my main academic thing rather than extra-curricular. Basically, my day looks like this: Learn solfege for Aural Studies. Go to lectures. Practise. Go to rehearsal. Practise. Go to another lecture. Start law reading. Get distracted during […]

  6. Performances (Suzanne)

    So, on Friday, I got sick. Fever of 38.5 degrees, chills in 30 degree weather, sore throat, coughing, and all. You know something’s wrong with you when the most annoying thing about a 38.5 degree fever is that it raises the temperature of your breath enough to make you play sharp at Saturday and Sunday’s […]

  7. Practise makes perfect. Perfectly insane. (Suzanne)

    I really really need to start practising more. Faculty of Music guidelines state that you should be practising at least 3-4 hours a day, and right now I’m averaging about two and a half. It’s not enough, both in terms of the amount of hours, and in terms of the progress I’m making. I have […]

  8. Damnitdamnitdamnitdamnit…(Suzanne)

    Argh! I missed the information session for study abroad and exchange today! And I really wanted to get out of Australia and go see the world too! Argharghargh~!@$$%^%^&^&~! Gah, there’d better be a repeat session somewhere.

  9. Things which Suzanne should be doing instead of writing in this blog (Suzanne, obviously)

    1. Her law skills assignment, due on Monday, which involves reading about a case where some pizza delivery kid got mugged by his customer and then sued his boss for making him deliver the pizza and get mugged. (Honestly, after three weeks of law school, you start to think that you can sue anybody for […]

  10. Snatching a breath…. (Suzanne)

    Before coming to Melbourne, I spent a few months studying Chinese in Beijing because of the gap between the Hong Kong school calendar, which ends in June, and the Australian one, which starts in February. My clarinet teacher in Beijing used to use a phrase called ‘tou qi’ （偷气） a lot when referring to breathing […]
